Are all campagnolo hubs the same?
I am on the lookout for a spare rear wheel for my wilier escape and have been offered a wheel with a campagnolo hub but no cassette. Can you use any campag hub with any cassette or are there differences?

    9/10/11 speed cassettes will all fit the same hub. Previous to that, it was a different spline pattern.

    You can only use Campagnolo pattern cassettes with them, no Shimano/SRAM.

    Any idea how I know if it is a 9/10/11 speed cassette hub?

    9/10/11 speed freehub bodies look like this:

    The stepped spline at the top of the pic is the giveaway.

    But the splines on the one on 2alexcoo post look different to the ones in my picture?

    Looks like it may be an older 9 speed hub, according to this.

    It should still be compatible with 10 speed though - I have two bikes with 9 speed hubs (1999/2000 ish), one running 10 speed, the other 11.

    If it isn't that pattern per the photo it will be an 8 speed. You may be able to change the freehub body, seek advice from Mercian, they are experts, Chain reaction and Ribble won't have any idea. Mercian are a bit dearer to buy from, but it is only fair to buy from them if they provide advice.

    Thanks 2alexcoo. That info is just what I needed, as you say it looks like an older 9 speed hub. Much appreciated.

    Hub is new pattern so will accept 9/10/11 - 8 speed had shallower splines and doesn't have the step
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
